WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1262 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hotchkis front stabilizer bar.

Anyone else experience very little to no clearance between the endlink stud and the control arm when using an adjustable bar? My stud is juuuuust kissing the LCA. Not enough to make a noise, but just enough to make a slight mark. I'm not too worried about it, just wondered.

Took my BRZ in Monday for the dreaded WTY84 FA20 valve spring recall and picked it up today. Had the dealer install new spark plugs, V-belt, Clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throw-out bearing just because. Got a 15% discount on parts and labor (1 hour) for the clutch job. Master Mechanic (Joe) kept me informed during the procedure. He did a great job and car runs great...so far - knock on wood! Thanks Joe @ North Park Dominion Subaru!!!

Finally switched out the embarrassing wusshorns. Used the horn for like the third time ever a few days ago and thought "allright...don't need to hear that again"...

FINALLY removed my clutch pedal spring. It feels so much better now.

Also installed some new Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. Primacys were at the end of their life for sure.

With the car in the air? Or on the ground?

In the air it's really close, I can't get a great look at in on the ground, but it is leaving a bot of a witness mark so the link stud touches just a hair.

Checked my damper settings on my coilovers, and found they were all adjusted to something different... any idea what could have caused this? I originally had them at 7 clicks from full hard, as per Tein's recommendations, but upon checking, they were all over the place (Front - 5 & 2, Rears - 7 & 14). Maybe an oversight I made or something. For what it's worth, I have the subaru trunk liner which could have slid around against the damper knobs, so I cut notches out this morning.

The bar will normally touch when you raise the car up. You should turn the wheels to the side with the car on the ground and examine how close the bar really is.
